Successful Campaigns

BREAKING: Eleven Hospo Voice members at the Titanic Williamstown have won back more than $5000 in stolen wages and super. This battle’s been epic and inspiring. Workers got organised and joined Hospo Voice. They spoke out on Fair Plate, then in the media. They used our Member Hub tools & resources. They got huge public support. And stood ready to go all the way, including covering Williamstown in some oar-some union posters to shame the Titanic. That's what it took to win back their stolen wages and get solid proof the Titanic is making repayments to the ATO for their stolen super, which was finally provided. Rumour has it the Titanic is keen to reopen soon, but with one member still in negotiations over his outstanding wages and leave, we stand ready to turn up the pressure again at a moment’s notice. That’s union power. ✊✊✊ Wanna stand up and fight back for your stolen wages & super? Join now: https://join.hospovoice.org.au/

Worker win! Because of the pressure of thousands of workers in union, Channel 10 have refused George Calombaris' contract demands, sending a signal that wage theft won't be tolerated by the community. He will not return for the next season of MasterChef.

Workers at Pampas voted to accept a revised company offer and return to work. This is a historic win. Workers at Pampas stood strong for four weeks on strike. This was a struggle against casualisation. Workers at Pampas backed each other all the way. Workers at Pampas said all workers need job security, all workers need sick leave, all workers need access to paid time off. All workers are equal. Thank you to all the community supporters that signed the petition, donated money, sent messages and came down to Footscray to support workers on strike.

EnergyAustralia has announced plans to help coal plant workers transition from jobs at its Yallourn power station – due to retire in 2028 – to the Elanora Offshore wind farm project, proposed for off the coast of Victoria. Although the plan is banking on Elanora Offshore securing a Feasibility Licence, EnergyAustralia’s Job Upskilling and Matching Program (JUMP) aims to help Yallourn workers on a new employment path.

We've got some great news. Last night the Lismore City Council reconsidered the application for a part-day local holiday in 2020 and 2021 which it rejected in December. But this time the Council voted in favour of the holiday! That means workers in the Lismore Local Government Area will have a half-day public holiday on Thursday 24 September 2020, and on Thursday 23 September 2021. By signing this petition, you played an important role in convincing Lismore Councillors that local workers deserve a break. Thank you, and congratulations on being part of a successful community campaign.

Win! The 99 live to see another day. NBC has picked up Brooklyn Nine-Nine for season six!!

Another win for Megaphone!

Congratulations to everyone who signed the petition, Deakin University has reversed their stance.
